The great tide is set!
Although Fu Qingjun didn't know what had happened, he vaguely had a suspicion, "Chen Weizhu, she's probably decayed, so the great tide left her and descended upon Little Trumpet."
Although, I don't know why she decayed so quickly, and it's not like Fu Qingjun just blows the trumpet, not everyone can be me, how did she decay so fast?
Conservatively estimated, it should take billions of years from youthful passion to decaying old age, right?
Could it be, those who are near vermilion are red, and those near ink are black?
But around her, there are just two ancient life spans and the Immortal Venerable Shi Sheng, not enough to blacken so quickly?
"And the greatest villain, Celestial Venerable Wen Ce, has been shackled by me in the tavern, becoming a sweeping monk." Fu Qingjun was utterly baffled.
But if this was the case, then it's understandable why Chen Weizhu hasn't done anything these years; it can be perfectly explained.
"But no matter what, this is a windfall from heaven, and Little Trumpet is now the new protagonist of the great tide." Fu Qingjun thought to himself.
As for why choose Little Trumpet?
This is a foregone conclusion!
The seat zero "Great Tide" is also a part of the rule of the universe's natural operation, with its own operating principles. It's naturally drawn to pick the most suitable person based on those three conditions.
Previously, it chose Chen Weizhu because she indeed fit the conditions more than Little Trumpet.
Not only was she passionate and youthful like Little Trumpet, with terrifying opportunities and unmatched talent...
But she also had an advantage Little Trumpet completely lacked, the current emperor of the Amiro Celestial Court. Just this status alone made her more fitting for the role of the protagonist, with no one else in the entire universe.
And now?
With Chen Weizhu disqualified, naturally, Little Trumpet was next.
With Fu Qingjun's artificial help, her three conditions surpassed those of general Celestial Venerables by far. After all, Little Trumpet was the most outstanding genius in the universe.
Both Chen Weizhu and Little Trumpet inherited part of the wisdom from the Immortal World Venerable Shi Sheng. With Chen Weizhu forfeited, naturally, it was Little Trumpet's turn.
"This best candidate has finally started, chosen by the great tide seat!" Fu Qingjun, watching Little Trumpet continuously gobbling food, snickered: "She hates me so much, gnashing her teeth, and eating like mad."
Little Trumpet, indeed,
whatever happens, the essence of eating remains unchanged.
"Little Trumpet, you seem possessed." Fu Qingjun observed her in the cafeteria, like a ravenous beast about to bite, and said, "Do you know why you're so strange? It's your adolescence, your rebellious phase."
Little Trumpet, eating, glared at Fu Qingjun fiercely, then suddenly pondered with her mind, saying, "Liar! I'm possessed by the great tide. Little Trumpet is the new era's protagonist!"
Fu Qingjun: "..."
She even used her brain?
"What's Little Trumpet planning then?" Fu Qingjun seriously inquired, "Planning to kill me?"
"Little Trumpet, as the protagonist of the great tide, plans to unify the world, defeat evil and decay, bring you down, making you the head of my cafeteria, and cook for me forever." Little Trumpet confessed her thoughts.
Fu Qingjun suspected if Little Trumpet really was short a screw.
Initially, her soul and True Spirit were abnormal, and the soul mutation was a rare structure belonging to the Immortal World Venerable Shi Sheng lineage, resulting in a unique fusion with wisdom.
"However, this is a complete Immortal Venerable," Fu Qingjun secretly evaluated, "In the same way foolish and naive, yet possessing an extraordinary pure Dao heart, able to unite the world."
"Hmph! Little Trumpet hates you and wants to defeat many things!" Little Trumpet directly stormed out, vanishing down the street, shouting naively, "This world is too decayed and needs someone to correct it!"
"Off on another runaway."
Fu Qingjun shook his head, chuckling, "Little Trumpet is now free, the new main protagonist of the great tide. Eventually, she will overthrow my rule but I have no means to restrain her nor do I want to resist her overthrow."
"Anyone else in this world who overthrew me, I would fight with all my might, but only if Little Trumpet does, I won't resist." Fu Qingjun's demeanor softened.
"Even because of her character, care-free and naturally Dao-minded, closest to nature, having the great tide seat fall on her provides her with advantages others do not have!"
"Perhaps, she will surpass all previous strongest great tide protagonists, an undescribed blind fool of a god, an instinctual monster, an era's protagonist, Little Trumpet!"
The protagonist of the great tide will inevitably overthrow the decaying evil existence,
Even for Fu Qingjun, he will inevitably be overthrown by Little Trumpet,
This is destiny,
And Fu Qingjun is innocent at this moment, having not set any dark hand on Little Trumpet or any subsequent means,
Because once decay manipulates, Little Trumpet probably loses her qualification to become the new protagonist of the great tide, so Little Trumpet herself is a true hero of the great tide.
She's incredibly clean, incredibly passionate, incredibly young,
"I know Little Trumpet, even if she overthrows me, she won't kill me, and that's enough."
Fu Qingjun maintained composure, saying softly, "In fact, I don't need to manipulate Little Trumpet, she only needs to keep her pure blood and rule the universe. I can make Little Trumpet decay after that since she has a short attention span; after being the main protagonist, she may get bored and offer me the seat willingly, decaying herself."
The fate of the great tide's destiny protagonists is to decay.
So, this is very normal,
Yet, Fu Qingjun can control the Little Trumpet's "decay" time as the protagonist by exploiting the great tide's loophole.
Little Trumpet seizes all authority and then decays, delivering it to me.
"As for not trusting Little Trumpet? That she would choose to kill me, becoming the true sole Emperor of the universe?"
Fu Qingjun smiled, "I know what kind of person Little Trumpet is, I understand her the most. Even Amiro and Nianzi can trust Chen Weizhu unconditionally, why can't I?"
"Her reincarnation needs a partner absolutely worth trusting."
"I am the same," Fu Qingjun mentioned softly.
Chen Weizhu and Chen Nianzi could certainly trust each other entirely, even at the peak of their Heavenly Venerable positions outside the temporal river, they would entrust their lives to each other without hesitation, to complete a terrifying breathtaking plan!
In similar fashion, after growing together for so many years with Little Trumpet.
"Perhaps, without trust, I sound ridiculous, gambling on luck," Fu Qingjun suddenly murmured.
"And what is trust? Universally the oath is considered."
"Without trust, the temporal river in the universe becomes perilous, with mutual vigilance."
"But, is it really an oath? Is it the embodiment of the first life's rule symbolizing cosmic beings' trust?"
"No, I believe it's not."
"This is the trust granted by Heaven."
"Our true trust should come from mutual human trust, not Heaven's trust."
"I've been considering this over the years."
"Why did they fail, what's the reason they lost the great tide?"
Fu Qingjun calmly sipped his tea, gazing at the sky beyond the cafeteria window, gently standing up, "I might have thought of an interesting possibility, because humanity hadn't genuinely tried to trust. Our trust is Heaven-given."
"Heaven granted us trust, instead hindering our genuine mutual trust, building our divide, leading us to fight over the only trustworthy scepter, and so earthly humanity disintegrates into mutual precautions, losing trust."
"If, in this universe, no one can rely on others, everyone fights alone, what do you mean people overcome Heaven?"
"Count on Heaven-given trust to defeat Heaven?"
Fu Qingjun maintained a composed and gentle expression, snapping his fingers lightly, "Thus I started choosing to believe Little Trumpet, this belief in mankind, attempting with it to challenge Heaven-fate by man-made means."
